Moderator: Stephanie J. Bird, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Chairperson, SfN Social Issues Committee<br>Significant questions remain as to how understanding the neurobiology of drug addiction should influence treatment, and public and criminal policy. Are there therapeutic approaches that can reverse drug addiction/sensitization? Is incarceration an effective way to treat addiction? Is incarceration cost effective This Roundtable will explore current understandings of the neurobiology of drug addiction and how such knowledge has and should inform the development of treatments for drug addiction, development and implementation of public policy, and the function of the criminal justice system.
